For Teachers

We allow school visits by special arrangement. If you are interested in showing your pupils an Electron Microscope Unit in action, please arrange a visit with our technician, Karen Walker. We can show you working SEM and TEM and also the preparation techniques involved.

View your own sample! If you want to bring a sample to view and take pictures of it away with you, please first consult Karen and she will explain what types of sample to bring and how to prepare them.

Microscopy lecture/demonstrations. If you want a lecture on the role of microscopes in research and/or how they work as part of your school visit to us, please contact Professor Dave Furness. A presentation on microscopy could also be made at your school (contact Dave)!
